I'm a first gen Latvian-Canadian, and remember my grandmothers and mother making buperts, although it was often made with flour, in order to create more difference from debesmanna.☺️<br />I look forward to pouring into your blog for further recipes that are so close to my 'native' cuisine. It's refreshing to see that our recipes are still available, as I have forgotten so many! Today our grocery stores are so full of preserved, chemically enhanced "fast foods"— I just can't eat that any longer, knowing that it is so full of 'garbage'! Back to my roots, I am introducing more and more ethnic dishes to my Canadian husband and my daughters are thrilled to learn the recipes from the "old days". Thank you so much for keeping your/our Baltic culture alive and introducing the ways of our grandmothers to the children of our Baltic heritage!!<br />Blessings! And thank you... ☺️❤️Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01682426746446913279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-1843130251856800472013-09-04T07:41:00.764+03:002013-09-04T07:41:00.764+03:00Linda, thank you for your comment.

My name is Bea, I'm Latvian and I ...Hi Pille, <br /><br />My name is Bea, I'm Latvian and I came across your blog randomly while searching for some recipes from back home. :) Will just say that I'm happy to see how much you enjoy cooking and the wonderful meals that come out of your love for Estonian food. I was happily surprised to see how much in common our two cuisines have. :) It might have something to do with the geographical location I suspect...;)<br /><br />Cooking is my passion and hobby too, but no matter how much I love to create new dishes, experiment and try new cuisines, I always come back to the foods from home because I long for the comfort of flavors that I recall from my childhood. :) I'm currently living in Dublin and have been for the past 4 years so you can probably relate being away from home like me.<br /><br />As of buberts-this is just what I was looking for! I loved my mom's bubert when I was a kid and, yes, indeed it is an old granny desert recipe that Latvian's are closely familiar with, not only that-we have it with freshly made cranberry ķīselis (soup thickened by potato or cornstarch). :)<br /><br />This is as popular in Latvia as rye bread fruit soup, sauteed or braised sauerkraut (I made your beer sauerkraut yesterday and it was delightful! So thank you very much indeed for posting it. :)), curd patties, beetroot soup, liver pate, Roosamanna ehk mannavaht that we know as debesmanna and many many more of the dishes that you make. And the apple cakes-apple cakes! :D<br /><br />Enough of me drooling over this and back to browsing your posts. :) I'm definitely making buberts as soon as I get my next grocery shopping done. (mmmm) :D<br /><br />All the best in continuing the blog and authentic cooking Pille,<br /><br />BeaBeabewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11990273450310761420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-73740210171594451652010-10-25T09:25:38.750+03:002010-10-25T09:25:38.750+03:00Rachel - so good to see another Estonian-expat dis...Rachel - so good to see another Estonian-expat discover Nami-Nami :)<br /><br />Roosamanna is similar, but different - there's a recipe for roosamanna/mannavaht here: http://nami-nami.blogspot.com/2006/08/estonian-cooking-roosamanna-or.html (roosamanna = roosa (pink) + manna (semolina/cream of wheat).Pillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817049547134774699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-74308946785736669782010-10-24T07:31:27.746+03:002010-10-24T07:31:27.746+03:00Just stumbled on your blog - looks great!

We always called this something different though - I'm not sure on the actual spelling (I don't speak Estonian - yet!), but phonetically we used to call it "rosa muna".

It’d be interesting to know..<BR/><BR/>Bea - ??? LOL :)<BR/><BR/>Tanna – thank you! It’s a lovely combination of colours.<BR/><BR/>Bron – not sure you’ll be able to shape the bubert into a heart shape – it’s a bit soft for that – but then I’ve never tried to do it myself :) Thanks for tagging me – I will try to find time to complete it, but cannot promise anything..<BR/><BR/>Valentina – saffron pancakes? Thanks for reminding me about them!!<BR/><BR/>Trish – I’m very flattered :) It’s interesting to read you like semolina, too!<BR/><BR/>Joey – are we talking about the same semolina? (The one we use is known as cream of wheat in the us). In any case, there are quite a few recipes on my blog using semolina (as you’ve found). As for the porridge – we prefer 1:10 ratio – i.e. for 1 litre of milk we’d use 100 ml of semolina (just under half a cup). You heat up the milk, then stir in semolina and keep stirring for about 10 minutes until it thickens into a soft, loose porridge. Season with salt and/or sugar and serve. A favourite comfort breakfast of ours..Pillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817049547134774699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-74302855012433832472008-02-05T07:30:00.000+02:002008-02-05T07:30:00.000+02:00Hi again!
